Plan B

It has been an interesting several months.  Mom had surgery which was suppose to be in/out, but turned into 11 hours of surgery and a 7 day hospital stay and Myranda broke her ankle.  There are several more things that didn't go quite the way we had planned.  To help us deal with these "little" hiccups our family has adopted a saying.  When things don't go the way we plan (PLAN A), God stepped in and showed us His plan (PLAN B).

We are a planning society in that we want everything planned out to the minute.  Unfortunately God's Plan and our Plan don't align a lot of the time.  Mom had all kinds of plans once she left the hospital during her recovery period, but her plans never materialized.  Myranda had great plans for Christmas break, but they never materialized either.  But during this time both parties found a new appreciation for family and friends and shifted focus closer to God.  Even though plan A would have been ideal in "our world", God's plan B was better in the end.

So when things don't go the way you want them tooo.... Don't worry, God has His Own plan for your life. Keep praying, keep studying, keep working and one day your plan and God's plan will both be Plan A.
